1890 RCI were reported. Managers have greater crude RCI risk than unskilled workers (male, RR = 1.30; female, RR = 1.44). This difference was no longer statistically significant when adjusting for factors describing the drivers’ behaviors. Female managers’ risks were also insignificant when adjusted for vehicle kilometers travelled (VKT). Managers seemed at lower risk of injury when involved in a crash. Socially advantaged subjects have the greatest RCI risk. Qualitative and quantitative ERR factors explain these disparities. These results highlight the importance to focus on ERR whenstudying the effect of an individual characteristic on RCI. They also highlight the importance to analyse separately the “RCI” and the “susceptibility to injury”. (A) Reprinted with permission from Elsevier.
